Institute of Sociology of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic

The main goal of the project is to analyze the significance of the relation between housing tenure, existing and potential housing policy tools including rent regulation, on one side, and labour mobility, on the second side, in the Czech Republic. The weight of the direct influence will be estimated by comparison with the perceived significance of other barriers to labour mobility, such as specific cultural and social norms. Both quantitative (surveys) and qualitative (focus groups) sociological methods will be applied to achieve the stated goal. The results of complete analysis of surveys´ data will be used to propose such housing policy options that would efficiently support higher labour mobility in the Czech environment.
